The OutIn Fino is a battery-powered grinder for people who want fresh ground coffee away from home, whether at the office, on holiday or at a campsite. It stands out for being fully portable at 690 g, with USB-C charging that refills the battery in about an hour and enough power for up to 18 espresso shots per charge, according to OutIn.

In its favour
- It weighs 690 g and charges fully over USB-C in about 1 hour.
- The 38 mm stainless conical burr is rated for up to 100 kg of beans.
- It runs at under 60 dB(A), according to the maker.
Good to know
- The 25 g capacity is too small for a 500 ml batch in one go.
- Battery operation limits output to around 18 espresso doses per charge.
Our take
Settings and burr
A patented 28 position dial covers ultra-fine espresso to coarse French press in one smooth turn. The 38 mm heptagonal conical burr is made from 420 stainless steel with a hardness of HRC 55 to 60, and OutIn says it will handle up to 100 kg of beans.
One-button operation
The grinder starts and stops automatically at one press, and stops when the beans are ground. An anti-clog reversal function helps if beans jam. OutIn quotes a noise level below 60 dB(A), which is quiet for an electric grinder.
Auto stop means you can set it grinding and pack the rest of your kit at the same time, which is a nice touch on a camping morning.
Battery, capacity and portability
The battery is a 1000 mAh 2S pack, charged via USB-C. The collapsible bean hopper holds 25 g, enough for a single dose, and a detachable dosing cup catches the grounds. The grinder is 7.3 cm across and 19.9 cm tall, and draws 15 watts.
OutIn notes that airline rules apply: carry it in hand luggage and do not use it during a flight.
Limits of a portable grinder
A 25 g hopper and battery power mean this is not a replacement for a mains grinder in a busy kitchen. It is best for one or two cups at a time. The plastic and steel build is listed as food-grade ABS and stainless steel.
It also works for someone with a very small kitchen who brews one cup a day and wants a burr grinder that can live in a drawer.
Against the HiBREW G5 and Fellow Ode
The HiBREW G5 is a mains-powered single dose grinder with 36 settings and two speeds. The Fellow Ode has 64 mm flat burrs and auto stop for filter. The Fino is the only one here you can take anywhere.
Verdict
Buy the OutIn Fino if you want fresh ground coffee on the move or in a small space, with espresso to French press settings and USB-C charging. If you grind at home every day, the HiBREW G5 is the more practical mains option, and if filter quality is the priority, the Fellow Ode is the better grinder.
